Quasiprojective Variety

In mathematics, a quasiprojective variety in algebraic geometry is a locally closed subset of a projective variety, i.e., the intersection inside some projective space of a Zariski-open and a Zariski-closed subset. A similar definition is used in scheme theory, where a quasiprojective scheme is a locally closed subscheme of some projective space.

Famous quotes containing the word variety:

    “The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins.”
    —Italo Calvino (1923–1985)
